...lightning rod for a sudden series of bolts of discontent, Nixon's tour served a useful purpose, although the purpose was ironically different from the "good will" that was its original goal.

Britain and France, then refused to hold a joint preparatory conference unless Communist Poland and Czechoslovakia were allowed to sit in too. The air was now being filled with what Russia would be unwilling to discuss-the status...

Trying last week to account for Van's sudden starry appearance in the musical firmament, a Radio Moscow interviewer put it this way: "He is the American Sputnik-developed in secret...
